Dreamhome?

I found and read this article today and was interested in looking at the house because the initial picture looked very nice. There was also a catchy headline - $400000 house costs $6 million.

Apparently this couple really had their hearts set on what they wanted. They started with a $400000 budget and an architect and now over 7 years later and nearly (but not yet) completed they are over $6million spent and on architect #4. There are several parts of the article that made me laugh out loud, literally! Here is one of them, the house is set against a hill and at their insistence the windows open up toward the hill unlike nearly all other houses in similar environs. The owner maintains that this provides the best views of the forest!

How many microwaves would you like in your kitchen? You will have to read the article to see how many were requested and what the end result in the kitchen is.


Soon there will also be some very cool treehouses that will be solar powered as well.

Overall it looks like a pretty cool house even if the quirks came to be pretty darn expensive.
